Lady Canes comeback bid falls short

Jan 21, 2009

Despite shooting 27 percent from the floor in the first half,
Georgia Southwestern was able to keep Georgia College & State
University within their sights on Wednesday evening at the Storm
Dome only to eventually fall 62-58.

GSW connected on one of their first twelve shots, yet only
trailed by a point five minutes into the game. GCSU
eventually built a 10 point lead at the eight minute mark (20-10),
but the Lady Hurricanes chipped away and went into the break down
by three (29-26).

Although Southwestern connected on only 9-of-33 in the first
stanza, their defense held the Lady Bobcats to 13-of-43 from floor.

GCSU (10-5, 5-3 PBC) built the lead back to nine with 11:05 left
in the game. However, Southwestern made another charge and
trimmed the lead to two on three different occasions, the last
being after a Brandi Burris three pointer with 12 seconds
remaining. After a GSW foul, Tiauana Brantley hit two free
throws to seal the win.
